Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a common condition characterized by the accumulation of dense adhesions and scar tissue around the pelvic organs, which can lead to complications. Disruption of endometriotic scar tissue is rare but can lead to spontaneous intraperitoneal hemorrhage in pregnancy.
CASE: We present the case of a patient admitted for signs of labour at 40 weeks gestation. At emergency cesarean delivery for cord prolapse, the patient was found to have a massive intraperitoneal bleed. Mechanical disruption of endometriotic scar tissue during positioning for an epidural may have been the precipitating event, as the symptoms of spontaneous hemorrhage, including hypotension and pain, appeared immediately afterward.
CONCLUSION: Without the cord prolapse, cesarean delivery would have been delayed and the spontaneous hemorrhage might have been missed. This case report alerts obstetricians to have a high index of suspicion for spontaneous hemorrhage in pregnant patients with a history of advanced-stage endometriosis, as this event can be life-threatening to mother and baby.
